 * I have a Custom Post type with taxonomy and terms. The web has a widget that 
   I can place in a widget area, I can select legacy widget or navegation menu (
   it’s the same), this widget should show the video types and allow you to select
   and filter a specific type.
 * But doesn’t work and I want to check it.
 * Where can I look for the code for this widget?
 * Thanks everybody and sorry my english.
 * Dani.

 * Hi thanks for answer.
 * Is not a plugin, the web is an old web made form another person, actually I am
   learning WordPress and trying to update
 * I think he code a widget to filter video types.

 * Search the wp-content directory for `extends WP_Widget`
 * If you have terminal access
    `grep -Rn 'extends WP_Widget'`
 * would find all the plugin or theme widgets

 * p.s.
 * many people add ‘extra’ code into the functions.php of the active theme
